Pre exposure prophylaxis 5. Treating HIV infected individuals 6
Focus on pre exposure prophylaxis: PrEP Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is giving an HIVnegative individual a pill (daily, or coitally?) to prevent HIV infection (studied: Tenofovir +/ emtricitabine) We know this works if the person takes it Recommended by the CDC, approved by FDA, recommended by WHO Clinical trials of TDF/FTC based PrEP Trial Population, Location Reduction in HIV infections (95% CI) iprex 1 Partners PrEP 2 TDF2 3 FEM PrEP 4 VOICE 5 PROUD 6 IPERGAY 7 MSM, transwomen Americas, South Africa, Thailand Mutually disclosed serodiscordant heterosexual couples; Kenya, Uganda Heterosexual men, women Botswana Women Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania Women Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe MSM (open label) UK MSM (intermittent PrEP) France, Canada Men, transwomen 44% (15 63) 84% (54 94) 80% (25 97) Cisgender women 66% (28 84) 49% ( 21 81) 6% ( 52 41) 4% ( 49 27) 86% (58 96) 86% (40 98) % of Adults with PrEP Indication No. of Adults with PrEP Indication 30 600,000 25 24.7 500,000 492,000 468,000 20 18.5 400,000 15 300,000 10 5 0 0.2 0.6 MSM PWID Hetero.

April 18, 2016 TREATMENT Health care providers should evaluate persons rapidly for npep when care is sought 72 hours after a potential nonoccupational exposure that presents a substantial risk for HIV acquisition All persons considered for npep should have HIV status checked- rapid combined Ag/Ab, or antibody blood tests 28 day course of TDF/FTC + raltegravir (alternative TDF/FTC + darunavir/ritonavir) ARS: What are the recommendations to start treatment worldwide and in the U.S.? 1. Start HIV treatment when the CD4 count is <500 in U.S. and <350 globally 2. Start HIV treatment when CD4 <500 both sets of recommendations 3. Start HIV treatment regardless of CD4 in U.S. and <500 worldwide 4. Start HIV treatment regardless of CD4 worldwide When to start treatment for HIV? Recommendations NO LONGER differ by resources 9
